My New Altar Piece
A beautiful Dagda ATC by Autumn Aelwyd I came home to find this wonderful artisan trading card in my mailbox. Isn’t he amazing?

Samhain ATC for Doreen.
The ATC I made for Doreen this Samhain. I saw she liked foxes and this design came to me. The skull, of course, is for the ancestors. I was really touched to learn how much she loved the card! 386829_2642219095545_1257622379_33164238_1011294707_n.jpg 488×707 pixels.

Wellspring 2011
Ok, I really need to write about my experiences at Wellspring this year. It’s taken me long enough. This is entirely due to the fact that I’m just so busy right now. I’m taking summer classes three nights a week and am preparing for a craft show next weekend. I feel terribly behind on myContinue reading “Wellspring 2011”
